3


































 I've slacked a little bit in my journaling for you sweetheart, but lets just say a lot has happened since I last wrote. You're actually going to be 4 in a few weeks, but we can't forget 3, no way! Three has been a good year for you Ella Boo, by the way that is one of your nicknames (usually Grandma calls you this). Ella Bella is what I usually call you. You have been an absolute joy in our lives. You are crazy, sassy, opinionated, goofy, dedicated, strong willed and absolutely perfect in every way. You make Sammy and I laugh daily and we are constantly telling all our friends and families about you. We're proud of you. We've been doing home preschool with you and you're doing SO well. Oumie has been sending us boxes of preschool equipment and it has been wonderful. You love to learn. And I love watching you learn. The virus has been quite the bummer this year, we weren't able to put you into preschool with friends because of it. We're crossing our fingers that next year will be much better. We did start you in private swimming lessons and you are doing so well! You started out so nervous and unsure and you are doing amazing now! Good job little Ella! You still love anything with wheels, puppies, car washes, good food, and being with your family. You play like a champ. You can play with yourself for hours and hours. We spent a lot of time in St. George this year. You love it there. I love all your cuddles at night and the fun songs we make up together singing about mermaid lotion, trucks on fire, going to grandmas house and more. You have an obsession with Mac and Cheese right now and I don't blame you. You love to play pups with Sammy and Gracie and enjoy reading about little blue truck and cordoroy. I love you sweet El. 

Love Mom

Basically 8

 Ella! I can’t believe you're almost 8. For some reason you are the one child that I can’t believe is getting so big. I just feel like it was yesterday that you were so tiny cuddling in my arms and now when I hold you, you aren’t so little anymore. But holding you is still my favorite thing. I’ll keep holding you like a baby as long as you’ll let me.  You are such a creative person. You are always coloring, making cards/notes, painting. I just love watching you be so creative.  I’ve been volunteering in your class and it’s been so fun to see you with your friends. You have so many good friends and everyone loves you. Your teachers rave about you too. They say you are so kind, a good listener and a very hard worker. You really are an incredibly hard worker. You have improved with reading, speaking and school so much. You had wonderful grades this past semester. I’m so proud of you.  You have the best imagination. I love that you still play with your cars and drive the...

3 Months

I am loving 3 months. You are the cutest baby. I know everyone says that about their babies, but seriously you are the cutest. I told dad the other day that I'm obsessed with you and want a thousand more babies because of you.We just got back from taking you on your very first trip to Anna Maria. I could travel everyday with you! You made it that easy. Thanks Ella. I joke that you were like me emotional support animal. Ha. I don't really like airplanes, they make me nervous. But having you glued to me the entire trip actually helped me feel more calm inside. You ate an slept the whole time, no time for nonsense like crying. I changed all your diapers on my lap, minus one poopy one that dad so graciously offered to change in the tiny bathroom. Bless his heart. We survived Universal Studios together as well. We became the best of buds those two days. While everyone else was on the rides, you and I were chilling in the baby swap room. My favorite was when we scoped out the gift sh...

8 Months

TODAY is your 8 Month birthday, and poor thing, you're sick. You are handling it like a champ though. I tried as hard as I could to keep you well, but your dear sister brought home a cold and the rest is history. You are still the happiest little soul, even if you are sick. These past 8 months with you have been blissful. You are a special little person, with a beautiful personality. I just LOVE being around you. You don't say much, but if smiles could talk! You have the biggest smile and are constantly giving it. Your sister still gets the most smiles and laughs though. You absolutely adore her, and vice versa. You two are going to move mountains together. You balance each other out and compliment each other perfectly. I've loved watching your relationship bloom. This past week, your two bottom teeth came in! I was so proud to see them poking through! I didn't even know you were teething because you were still the sweetest, most agreeable baby. We've been introdu...
